Castle

It's seems I have a good chance of survival. It's the 7th day and I can run pretty quickly. I look at the boars covered in leafs. It's mana leaf. It's kinda difficult to find. Mother must have gone to swamp to fetch it. If a animal is wrapped around by mana leaf. It won't rot and the smell of blood will be cancel out by it. Thus, other hunter animals won't come by. It's seems mother has thought meticulously. Since she had to go and search for mana leaf in the swamps and then find this place in 5 days. That's why she shouldn't have had time to build fences for me. When she comes back she will definitely build fences for me. But will the clan let her walk out. But the clan will probably monitor her for a month at-least. I walk out of the tree. It's seems this tree is the type of tree that repulses snakes. It's seems mother use to be a hunter. Or at-least was knew the plants well. I can not wait for mom to come back and make fences for me. I have manage with whatever I can.

I will make a fence 1 meter from the entrance of the cave. I start collecting sticks. One by one I gather 20 sticks. I am hungry so I eat 30% of a boar. I start working again. I use the dagger and make the sticks of 3 foot tall since the kans are 2 meters tall. It will camouflage the fence. I made one end of the stick pointed. It took me 2 hours just to do that. I am kinda hungry so I eat the boar again. I roll a stone and stand on it and carry another stone as hammer and start thrusting it to the ground. I thrust it half a foot underground it took me 1 hour to do it. I was tired. It's was already dusk. I made a rabbit trap nearby with stick and kans. so, I went inside my home. Finally it was time to try my breathing technique. I start my breathing technique and I am shocked to realize that I can use aura. Since my aura was unlocked my soul had become capable of looking inside my body and make a path for flow of ki. For hunters and warriors, training aura means first gathering randomly throughout the body using breathing techniques. Then practice guiding the ki voluntarily. When a practitioner is able to freely manipulate ki inside the body they break a certain meridian blockage in near the spinal cord which connect to brain. That blockade breakthrough is actually aura break through. Since I am a just 7 days old I have not formed that blockade. There is just a thin film. I have already learned to control ki to great level in my previous body. So I clearly can use aura after breaking that almost non existent film. So I start to gather little bit of ki that my body can accommodate. And I break the barrier. I am so happy. My survival rate just shot by 30%. Since my body can't hold much ki but I can definitely hunt rabbits. I may be able to climb tree if I have to hide. After being excited for quite a while I eat little bit went to the pond near by and drank water. Finally the night arrived for me.

Next day, I tried to sleep as much as possible. So that to not eat more and preserve food till mom comes back. 60% of 1 boar was already gone. So I thought I would finish the day with 40% of the food. So I gathered ki inside my body to work more efficiently. I took out a stick and started hammering it. Within 15 minutes I had plunged the into the earth. I repeated the cycle for 4 hours. And all 20 stick were standing tightly next to each other. 30% of of the area I intended to cover was done. I was extremely hungry. So I ate 10% of the boar. Though I was not satisfied I had to cope with it. I used my breathing technique to replenish my ki. I went to check my trap it was untouched. I gathered few more sticks, sharpened them and 3 more rabbit traps. After that I start to make my fences. 3 more hour passed did 30 percent more. It was around 1 pm. I was hungry. So I ate 15% of the boar. I was trying to decrease my appetite forcefully. Since I had ki if I could subdue my appetite. I could save a lot of meat. Then the work started again and I made it in 4 hours. It's was 5 o'clock. I checked my rabbit traps found none. I was very hungry. But I could not eat. So I drank water. I made more and more traps. The traps numbered around 15 traps. It's was 8 o'clock in the evening. I drank as much as I could and then in my home. I ate 10% of the food, I used breathing technique, went to pee and slept.

Next day, I woke up went to check the traps. I was delighted to find one rabbit. So I ate it. Now I had to increase chances of my survival. If a wolf comes by it will definitely jump over the fence. So best way was to cover up entrance to my home. But I had already put up a fence so bringing stone to cover the entrance was not an option. But it was the best option. So I decided to bring the stone. My entrance was 2 feet tall. I need half foot to go inside. So I plucked my fence with much effort. It took 2 hour. I pluck around 10 sticks only though. I ate 10% of the boar. Since I had eaten the rabbit I was not really hungry but ate it anyway. Since I knew my appetite would decrease overtime. I tried to eat less but not to the point of complete starvation. I went out and rolled 1 foot tall stones and blocked the entrance. Now I went out again and found some wild cow dung and mixed it with soil. And I used it as cement and joined to stoned properly. I dug out kans from far way and planted it in my entrance. Now even my mom would find difficult to recognize the place. I dug out lots of kans from far way and put inside my cave and made a mattress and put animal skin above it. It was already meal time. I ate 10 percent of the boar. Then I after I reinvigorated my self with breathing technique and back to work. First I replanted the sticks. Then I started to plant kans in my I meter garden. To completely hide my presence. I was done with fortifying my castle. It was around 4 o'clock. I went to the pond and took a bath. The pond was just a small puddle so big animal didn't come by. Mom had literally chosen safe haven for me. Humans would never be able to come here unless whole goblin tribe was decimated. Because this place was opposite to human settlements. South to it was a huge river. No one had crossed. North had mountains. Most dangerous were mountain goats. Though I would not be able to defeat mountain goat one on one. Even if I could mountain goats always move in packs. And they climb mountain very fast. So it's impossible for me as of now. West was very dangerous. But the danger was not immediate. To the west was orc village but it was 10 days walk and the orcs would not bother leaving their nest. Goblins would rather not come here because they were busy keeping their defense against human on the east. Most importantly only rabbits and wolves lived here and yes mountain goat who were impossible to catch too. So this place was pretty much safe haven for now. Without all the construction done. I made ten more traps. It was evening. I returned to my dwelling after drinking some water. I meditated for a while I ate 10 percent of the meat. I contemplated what I would do if I survived and soundly fell asleep.

Next day only 15% of 2nd boar was left. I was humongous amount for a human child but for me it was barely enough to survive. I had decreased my appetite intentionally. I had to do more of that.my goal was 15% a day which was equal to 3 rabbits. So I took the challenge to stay only eating 15% of remaining meat today. It was 8 am in the morning. I went to check the traps one by one. Luckily there was one rabbit. Out of 25 traps to only have 1 rabbit was rather low. But it was fine. I casually ate it. I made more traps. Around 25 more 😋.

I had nothing better to do which could increase my survival rate. If I stayed inside my survival rate would be better. Therefore I went to my castle. Since I was a goblin I could clearly see at night. Inside my castle, though it was dark it was good enough for me out thread in a pin. So I decided to make throwing knives 🔪 out of boar bones. I went to the puddle shore collected the most rough surfaced stone and here began my journey as weapon smith. I made 10 throwing knives on the first day. I only ate the 15% meat till the end of the day. But I was still very hungry. So I went out to check my traps. Fortunately, small fox cub had been caught. It was trying to break through. I casually plunged the dagger into it. It's skin seemed good for clothes so skinned it and ate it.

Days went by as such. 24 days to be precise. I made 40 dagger out of three boars. I kept the skins of last 2 boars and all rabbits and such animals. I made few clothes for myself. I made blankets, pillows and cushion. Thus, my castle was completed.
